buffett was on cnbc earlier this week and he said you really should not be investing in companies based on tax breaks. do you agree with that? >> i agree 100%. you certainly shouldn't play a stock because you think they may pay a special dividend or that they may increase a dividend. s&p 500's got a pile of cash. corporate america has $2 trillion in cash on the balance sheets. they're going it either pay dividends or buy back their shares or do some type of acquisitions over the next period of time. investing for that is probably a bad idea. but if you own a company which you like a lot, you like the fundamentals, you think they are a market leader in their industry, then regardless of whether you pay 35% or 40%, you don't make an investment decision based on that in terms of taxes. yeah, there is a lot of nose of what's going on in dividends right now. it makes a lot of sense to get that done in 2012 versus 2013 but you shouldn't base an investment decision on it. >> art and steve, gentlemen, both, thank you very much. have a great weekend, guys. >> have a great weekend? it's thursday!
